PALM BEACH COUNTY, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2026 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — A teen in a Tesla was killed and others were injured Tuesday afternoon in a multi-vehicle crash on Summit Boulevard in West Palm Beach, according to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office. A Delray Beach man was among the drivers involved.
The crash occurred around 1:33 p.m. in the 5500 block of Summit Boulevard. According to investigators in a statement to BocaNewsNow.com, a 2021 Tesla Model 3 driven by Joseph Alfeo, 19, of West Palm Beach, was traveling eastbound in the left lane when it struck the rear of a 2026 Mack dump truck driven by Ivan Carter, 45, of Delray Beach. The impact redirected the Tesla northward into westbound travel lanes, where it then struck a 2001 GMC Yukon driven by Phillip White, 61, of West Palm Beach.
